The Last Steps: A short movie (free to watch) documenting the Apollo 17 flight, made by the same crew as “Apollo 11.” It’s nice on its own, but particularly fascinating as a prelude – a “dry run,” in words of the composer – to the main event.https://vimeo.com/192013765

For The Record: Not as professional as other documentaries in this thread, but I still enjoyed this look at court reporting and captioning stenographers, I learned a new things, and a few moments made me pause.pic.twitter.com/uyUbGSRHTE

Love Notes To Newton: Starts in a messy way, but then finds its footing. I never knew Newton, and this film made me reflect on two deaths of a computing platform: first when the product is discontinued, and second when its fans move on or pass away.pic.twitter.com/ILcLRfC26i

How To Survive A Plague: A documentary about the HIV/AIDS epidemic in America, and the efforts of activists to help affected people, and to hold the government accountable. Powerful, poignant, moving. I think everyone should watch this. (thx to

The Patent Scam: This was bad in a fascinating way – a cross between an awful self-published book and Troll 2 maybe? The subject matter is worthwhile, but the execution… like the best worst movies, it entertained me *and* taught me a lot about the art of documentary filmmaking.pic.twitter.com/R9CpXebjQR

The Century Of The Self: A sprawling, ambitious, epic even history of the 20th century through the lenses of psychotherapy, consumerism, and advertising. I feel like I need to watch it again to fully get it. More Adam Curtis scheduled already. (thx to many who recommended!)pic.twitter.com/758sSCnzai

Knock Down The House: Just like the RBG documentary, this reminded me that there’s still room for humanity, hope, and integrity in politics. Unexpectedly touching throughout – and particularly at the end.pic.twitter.com/BHusQ5MBdy

The Biggest Little Farm: Cleaned up and tends to be sappy, but it is also really beautifully shot and, as a city boy, I actually learned quite a bit.pic.twitter.com/6uvSDItORS

The Inventor: For me, this worked as sort of a visual companionship to the Carreyrou’s book. Surprised by many shots from company meetings and inside Theranos labs, and likewise many CGI sequences explaining the malfunctioning machines.pic.twitter.com/sdDoe3j0Ml

Replying to @mwichary
The amount of b-roll footage of her opening doors and walking around was humorous.

Yeah, I’m guessing it’s from some video puff pieces or something (Fortune?), rather than Theranos themselves.
